The update, which lets users customise channels with over 60 system-ready plug-ins, is initially available for free to owners of first-generation Console 1 systems.

Softube has announced that its Console 1 software update with support for selected UAD powered plug-ins from Universal Audio is now online, and is initially available for free to owners of first-generation Console 1 systems.

Owners of first-generation Console 1 units can continue to quickly switch between tracks and control EQ, compressor, gate, and more, mixing with the sound of the included Console 1 SSL SL 4000 E emulation developed in collaboration with Solid State Logic. With the software update, users can customise channels to fit their needs with over 60 Console 1 system-ready plug-ins, adding brands such as Chandler Limited, Fairchild, and Helios to the range of products that can be used with Console 1 systems.

“Softube and Universal Audio share a lot of core values, like the importance of sound quality, ease of use, and a love for good music,” remarked Universal Audio’s vice president of sales and marketing Greg Westall. “Seeing that Universal Audio and Softube are longtime partners, and that Console 1 is a super-intuitive control surface, it all just makes so much sense.”

Softube president Oscar Öberg added: “The concept of Console 1 has been extremely popular, and we haven’t been able to keep up with the demand. I’m excited that we finally are able to manufacture larger quantities of a Console 1 that’s not only better but also a lot more affordable.”

Console 1 Mk II is scheduled to start shipping later this Spring, though the software update with the UAD powered plug-ins compatibility can now be downloaded for free from Softube’s website.

And some broadcasters increased the loudness of commercials deliberately to catch the audience attention, forcing government regulators to step in to curb the “Loudness Arms Race”. This white […]
